Expressing support for "Military Sexual Trauma Awareness Day".
HRES 1510 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for "Military Sexual Trauma Awareness Day" (observed September 25, 2024). It acknowledges that military sexual trauma (MST) affects approximately 1 in 3 women and 1 in 50 men in the military, causing long-term physical and mental health impacts like PTSD and suicide risk. The resolution urges the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs to improve access to MST-related care, reduce stigma, and ensure survivors receive respectful support without fear of retaliation. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the need for better systems to support military personnel and veterans affected by MST.
